Hither & Yon

Our company's name, Hither and Yon, was inspired by journeys here and there, and our store is filled with the thoughtful and beautiful pieces that we found along the way. We began importing in 1998, during many adventurous travels through Asia. Originally, we brought home gifts from the Himalayas for family and friends, and from that, a business began. A strong commitment was made early on, to only sell quality products that we loved and would have in our own home. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Our Commitment To You

We take great pride in providing beautiful products and high quality Tibetan incense. Your incense is stored in sealed containers in a clean environment and we constantly monitor our stock, to keep it fresh and ready for shipment. We love to provide free samples to each customer so that you can test different varieties and styles of Tibetan incense without purchasing a full box. Your orders will always be packed with care and sent to you well protected. We believe in service with Aloha!

We hope you enjoy your experience shopping with Hither and Yon. We want you to feel confident that you will recieve the highest quality of customer service. We appreciate feedback and welcome questions! Please feel free to email us at hitherandyon@hotmail.com or use the contact form below.

Tibetan Incense

Tibetan Incense is hand rolled from natural herbal ingredients with no bamboo stick in the center. Hand prepared incense has been used for many hundreds of years in the Himalayan regions of Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan and is deeply rooted in Tibetan culture. Authentic Tibetan incense originates from traditional monastery recipes and medical formulations. During the time of the Buddha, over 2500 years ago, these medicinal and monastic formulas were developed by combining many different ingredients. During troubling time, these recipes would have been lost, but were fortunately preserved by monks in the Tibetan monasteries. Masalas or mixtures of herbs, plants, flowers, leaves, grass, wood, bark, spices and minerals are still blended in strict accordance to these recipes. When burned, Tibetan incense produces a rich, earthy, and pure aroma which can help soothe and calm a restless mind. It is widely used to purify the environment and as an aid for meditation and relaxation. In Tibetan medicine, it is often used to alleviate depression, stress and anxiety. A daily incense or sang offering is an important part of Tibetan culture and most homes and monasteries will have a place reserved for offering incense.

We carry over 100 unique blends of Tibetan incense, each traditionally prepared by hand in strict accordance to ancient recipes. All are made without perfumes, glues, dyes or bamboo sticks. The list of ingredients is quite extensive including cedar, sandalwood, juniper, amber, musk, jasmine, frankincense, lemongrass, rose, mint, lemon, pine, cinnamon, lavender and more. We hope you enjoy the soothing benefits of Tibetan incense!

Tibetan Prayer Flags

Tibetan Prayer Flags are flown throughout the Himalayas, and are often seen at bridges, crossroads, holy sites, temples, rooftops, mountain summits or anywhere the prayers may meet the wind. The flags are traditionally printed with auspicious symbols, mantras and prayers, which are blown by the wind, spreading good will and compassion into all of space. It is an ancient tradition, dating back thousands of years, with the intent of bringing benefit to all, invoking compassion, harmony, peace, wisdom and strength, and offering protection against dangers and evil.
The horizontal flag strings are called Lung ta in Tibetan, meaning "Windhorse", and the vertical pole flags are called Darchor, meaning "flagstaff". The five different flag colors have many meanings in Tibetan Buddhism, including the five directions, the five wisdoms, the five meditation Buddhas, the five mental attributes, and the five physical elements ~ blue sky, white cloud, red fire, green water, and yellow earth.
As a flag's images fade from exposure to the wind and elements, the prayers become a permanent part of the universe. Just as all living things move on and are replaced by new life, Tibetans renew their hopes for the world by mounting new flags alongside the old. The prayer flag tradition welcomes the ongoing cycle of life with good will, wisdom, and harmony.
